Again hope it is cool to ask Cougar questions here since they are so close to stangs.
But hey I just bought a 68 cougar from a guy. Runs and starts perfect but it over heats. I feel pressure building in the top hose so I thought thermostat. Changed that and the hose and I am still experiencing the problem. What are some other things I can check? I guess it could be a faulty thermostat, but anything else I can try? Also there is like a vacuum tree coming out of the thermostat housing that looks damaged and is not hooked to anything. Could that be the issue? Does anyone know what it is supposed to hook to? Ill post a pic shortly.
Specs.
1968 Cougar non xr7
302 2bbl v8
no a/c
Automatic
